Shudder and AMC+ have dropped a chilling first look at V/H/S/Mixtape, the ninth entry in the legendary found-footage franchise, set to premiere this Halloween season.

Companion Director Returns to the Genre with Creepypasta Horror 'Seasons'

Companion Director Returns to the Genre with Creepypasta Horror ‘Seasons’

House hunting is already a nightmare in this economy, but winning a real estate bid usually shouldn’t require human sacrifice. Amazon MGM Studios, Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, 21 Laps, and 12:01 Films are joining forces for Seasons. It’s a chilling new horror feature that proves some bargain properties come with catastrophic catches. The film follows Harry. He’s a former Marine trying to reintegrate into civilian life. His partner, Sasha, thinks they have hit the jackpot after snagging an idyllic Idaho ranch with a lowball offer. Naturally, their countryside paradise is inhabited by ancient, territorial spirits who demand total submission. To keep living on the land, the couple is forced into increasingly gruesome, blood-soaked rituals with every turn of the calendar. From Viral Reddit Story to Big-Screen Terror If the premise sounds familiar to internet genre nerds, that is because the project originated as My Wife and I Bought a Ranch, the legendary viral Creepypasta penned by brothers Matt and Harrison Query.

Not Your Average Backwoods Butcher: Inside 'A Man in the Woods with an Axe'

Not Your Average Backwoods Butcher: Inside ‘A Man in the Woods with an Axe’

Horror Dadz Productions and Found TV have released the first official trailer for A Man in the Woods with an Axe, a micro-budget feature from writer-director Dillon Brown that promises to turn the traditional slasher formula completely inside out. A Subversive Slasher Bait-and-Switch While it pays homage to beloved 1980s killer movies, the film uses a deliberate bait-and-switch structure designed to catch audiences off guard. What initially presents as a standard cabin-in-the-woods setup gradually devolves into something far more bizarre. Spanning several decades, the story explores a sprawling mystery that reaches well beyond its simple title. Garage Craftsmanship and $10,000 Practical Magic Starring Clare Stephenson, Hannah Welty, Michael Rock, and Dustin Tamplen, the production completely eschews CGI in favor of practical gore, physical creature designs, and in-camera visual tricks. Working on a lean $10,000 budget, Brown hand-crafted most of the film’s special effects frame by frame. He studied classic horror sequences frame-by-frame to recreate old-school visual effects techniques. Streaming Premiere

How Modern Game Design Is Making Digital Horror More Immersive

Digital horror has changed significantly as game developers have gained access to better graphics, sound systems, lighting tools, animation, and interactive technology.  Fear in modern games is no longer created only through sudden surprises.
